As we gather for worship on the Sixth Sunday of Easter, we hear the Savior preparing His disciples for the time when He will no longer be physically present with them. He assures them that when they pray they will be answered. He tells them He is returning to the Father. He promises that even as they experience tribulation in this world, He will give them peace. We see an example of how this worked out in the first reading, as God led Paul into Macedonia and blessed his sharing of the gospel at Philippi. In the reading from Revelation we are given a peek into the future at the final outcome for the redeemed. They, who through faith have their names recorded in the Lamb’s book of life, will dwell with God in the light of his glory, living in a city so wonderful it is almost beyond description. May Jesus’ assurances and the example of his faithfulness preserve us in the faith until that day.
